Disturbing Films

[UGAnchora]

Thirteen - So freaking scary and messed up. Makes me never want to have children. Especially a daughter!

This one hasn't been mentioned, but it goes right along with Schindler's List (which I haven't seen yet, but really want to):

The Pianist - Its a beautiful, wonderful movie. It moved me emotionally and I was so emotional invested in Adrian Brody's character. Its just the fact that those events actuall happened that makes them so horrifying. For example, one scene has Brody's family watching the Nazi's barge into another family's apartment to take them to the camps. An old man is in a wheelchair and they just push him off a balcony. Being a history major, I'm incredibly interested in these movies, but they are so hard to watch. The book is also amazing, but is even more horrifying than the movie.

"Blue Velvet" was just plain weird!

"Blue Velvet" is the only movie to keep me awake after seeing it. I love scary movies, and they usually don't bother me at all, but that one really creeped me out.

I almost started screaming like a crazy man when I walked into WalMart a few days later and heard Bobby Darrin singing "Blue Velvet" on the muzak.

Bumping because I watched "Requiem for a Dream" last night and it has topped Clockwork Orange as my most disturbing movie ever. I had to sleep with the light on because I was so freaked out - I've NEVER had to do that before. This isht makes Trainspotting look like The Sound of Music.

Can we please just make a list of films that have electroshock treatment in them so I can avoid them? That's the one thing I absolutely can't handle seeing.

The Crying Game - it was just kind of depressing
Deliverance -Hillibillies incest and the rape scene "I'll make you squeal like a pig"
Ghost Ship (the beginning of the movie)

Requiem is pretty crazy stuff - not sure whether I like it or dislike it, but it makes you squirm, that's for sure.

I still think Clockwork is more disturbing, but maybe that's just me.

one day i was home alone and i decided to watch a movie on our I-control and adaptation. was listed. i was like: ooooo i remember seeing the commercials for this, i think its supposed to be a dark comedy

HOLY COW, i was so freaked out by that movie......i was scared to be by myself and i couldn't explain why. it was just weirdest, creepiest movie i had EVER seen.

Pulp Fiction made me SICK. I don't understand why so many people like this movie.

The most disturbing movie I've ever seen is banned in America. My friend George got a kick out of downloading these horrible Japanese movies and I decided to watch one called "Ichi the Killer" with him once. OH....MY....GOD....I felt like I was watching a snuff film...and maybe I was...there was graphic violent rape scenes and the worst possible murder scenes...they were hanging people by the skin of their backs off the ceiling and pouring acid on their faces...needless to say, i did NOT make it to the end of this movie.

The weird part is that it was all in Japanese of course and everyone had nearly unpronouncible Japanese names except for one Japanese woman who was inexplicably named Karen (my name) and she sometimes slipped into English. It was strange.

Wasn't when a stranger calls back one of tom hanks earliest film roles. I remember that movie and baby sitting was never the same .

Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan....the one i was traumatized in a good way and the other i just was traumatized, esp. the knife scene with the guy from A Beautiful Mind and all of those other films

Monter and Mystic River are two movies I've seen recently.

Mystic River is an amazing movie

The butterfly effect. I just watched it, and it was a bit disturbing. I know I watched more disturbing movies via sundance flicks.

i am going to see "The Village" when it comes out. That looks very disturbing.
